Atlanta. GA, will to-day decide the
question whether or not saloons will be
licensed in the city. Very few purely
local elections have aroused more wide
spread interest and it is safe to say that
the outcome will be watched with undis-
guised interest from all parts of the coun-
try. The question has set on foot a most
bitter campaign in which both parties
have imported noted speakers to aid them
in the struggle.
Even the women are aroused to active
participation. The c~lergymen are almost
a unit in opposition to license, although
one colored minister named Corson, who
is said TO be the happy owner of a voice
which would make a foghorn turn green
with envy, is unqualified in his appreciation
of it. 1t having been suggested that no
anti-prohibition meeting had ever been
opened with prayer, he retorted
hat he could pray as well
as anybody. Having recited the
Lords prayer he added: ooh, Lord, l
pray Thee to help Atlanta in her extrem-
ity. Oh, Lord Jesus, do Thou make
these deluded preachers see the error of
t~heir.way. Do help the sweet inhabitants
of this city. Do restore to them pure
liquor and not compel them to drink the
vile stuff sold as nerve tonic rice beer
and bitters. Give us power to win this
fight. Put to route the miserable hypo-
critics who parade as Thy servants under
the guise of Prohibitionists. OH Jesus
save us and let us win this fight for Christ
sake, amen"
All of which is said to have afforded
5000 ungodly spectators ~undisguised sat
isfaction.
Henry w. Grady is strongly in favor of
prohibition. The climax of one of his
speeches on liquor reminds one forcibly of
Col. Ingersoll. 1T is the mortal enemy
of peace and order" he said. the de-
spoiler of men, the terror OF women, the
cloud that shadows the face of children,
the demon that has dug more graves and
sent more souls unshriven to judgment
than all the pestilences that have wasted
life since God sent the plague of Egypt,
and all the wars since Joshua stood be-
fore Jericho"
The present outlook is hat the anti
license people will carry the day.
